    Working with a male 6th grader with an important 1600m race Saturday. Did a harder workout last Saturday, a week before competition: 6x 400m (30 sec jog) 200m (3min rest). Trying to get faster each rep. Splits were:

    1:29, 42
    1:23, 41
    1:22, 39
    1:22, 39
    1:21, 37
    1:19, 37

    Any 1600m predictions based on this workout?

    Also, could use help with a tune-up workout for this Wednesday, before the Saturday race. Anybody have a favorite? (I can always water it down for this younger athlete).

    Thanks!

    Yeah was gonna say something like 2x1k/2x400/2x200 @ descending paces (really make sure they hold back on the k's & run them @ tempo effort. Mile effort on the 400s. A touch faster on the 200s. Don't give them some big mile specific workout right before the race.
